Been burnt in a field fire. Pretty rough but has a title.the front end and interior are toast. Roadster inserts burnt up. Got hot enough that the front coil springs are completely collapsed. Has a home made half top on it. Front floors and kick panels trash. Cancer on inner aprons. Wiring completely burned. Is it worth anything?

About $200 a ton last I checked.

Maybe a few salvageable parts. But burned that bad doesn't leave much usable.

That's it. There's just not much left. I know the guy fairly well and he said bottom $ is 800. He knows its rare but like I say, the good stuff is wasted. I looked it over this evening. Did I mention it got hot? Lol

Hey rastiss, I was the guy there from Dallas and agree that it is a parts truck at best with the eyebrow grill maybe repairable. Not much else left not burned up or rusted out.

I would say $300 at best. She looks pretty trashed. Would imagine the body panels are warped from the heat as well. Really not much to work with there. Yes it has a title, but only thing I see is the frame for a matching foundation. Other than that, hard pressed to donate any dollars to the old rig!

If the frame, dash, glovebox door, and title are salvageable, someone could build up a "real" U13.

I think these "Fast-n-Loud" type shows are inflating people's expectations for what their junk is worth along with creating a market for it. I know a guy that's been running around buying junk and often charging to haul stuff off. It used to all go to the yard for scrap value. He's now hanging on to anything he thinks might have value and putting it on the Internet. Some of the "treasures" people travel long distances for amaze me.

yeah, that's for sure... one man's junk is not always another man's treasure though, sometimes it's still plain junk, haha

If it got hot enough to collapse springs, I'd bet frame strength is compromised. It looked like the 9" is fine. Title showed 40,000 miles in 84 when it last transferred.
